Forced Listening
Your Congressman
In Washington
About this controversy of music in busses or in stations.
Now I'm one of those persons who likes to take my music or
leave it—but I want to be sole judge of which it is. It seems
to me that those who advocate giving- us something to listen
to when we are about cur business, take the stand that we
are children, having to be amused. 1 disagree.
But whether or not our ears should be deafened with
caterwauings—good, bad or indifferent, is I think, relatively
unimportant. There is a bigger question involved—that of
forced listening. To me it smacks of the dictator state. 1
remember Mussolini and Hitler—and I see the ultimate effect
of forced listening in the parrot like utterances of the Communists.
Why all this fuss about a little music? Because if once
the precedent of forced listening is established, then music
may give way to propaganda speeches or slanted news commentaries. Liberty goes by default.
What about the radio? Perfectly simple. When 1 don't
like a speech on the radio, I can turn it off. Even if it is the
President of the United States, J, the individual, have he
right of choice.
Don't I believe in free speech? Of course, I do. In fact,
I believe in it so strongly that J believe both the NAM and the
Communists have the right to buy time to sell their story.
But I want to be able to turn them both oil' whenever I want
to. I don't want to have to listen.
Now it happens that I believe my middle-of-the-road
opinion is the best brand of Americanism. But 1 also believe
that Democracy means that rule of the people—.not of groups
1 don't object in the least to the groups sounding off—but I
want them to be labeled as groups and not proclaim that
they arc the sole exponents of the American way of life.
In short; 1 think propaganda should be labeled as such,
That instead of saying "The American Way of Life is such-
an-such"—a plain statement as though it were a fact, they
should have to say "The way of life I and my group want I'rr
America is such-and-such." And that each group that takes
lo the ail' should have lo begin by staling their group and
specifically what j't stands for. The other evening 1 counted
four speeches all claiming to represent the American way of
life—and all demanding opposing things. I'm tired of false
labels—of Communists calling themselves liberals, of Dixie-
crats calling themselves Democrats, of Fascists calling themselves Republicans. I think every man has a right to his own
opinion—but I think he should have the moral courage to say
what that opinion really is—not cam j ullage it under a lot
of high-faluting cliches.
And 1 want the right not to listen. Maybe it isn't in the
Bill of Rights, but ii is inherent in it. In 1791 Edmund Burke,
the great friend of the American colonics, pointed out that
restraint is also numbered among man's rights. And I will
actively resent any infringement of that right!
The Law Must Prevail
Mis. P. R. Baird of the Senior Woman's Club of North
Canton is head of the Southwest section of the village; Mrs.
Luther Sautters of the North Canton Parent Teachers Association heads the Southeast Section; Mrs. F. D. Stover of the
American Legion Auxiliary is captain of the group in tho Northeast
section and Mr.?. M. E. Saylor of
the ,Navy Mothers Club assisted
by Miss Nanev Witter of the Junior Sorosis are heading the collection group in the Northwest section of the village. Mr. Ward
Mathie of the North Canton Rotary Club is responsible for the
collections for the Red Cross in the
Business District of town.
Following is another in a series
of case histories to demonstrate
how the Re.I Cross serves your
community and its people in times
of disaster.family crisis and other
emergencies.
"My name is Bert Donaldson. My
wife's name is Betty and our son'.s
name is Bert, Jr. Inbuilt the home
we lived in and had paid .for all
of it exc.ipt for $400.00. Nothing
fancy, but it was comfortable, and
it was our home."
"One night., after >,ve'd gone to
bed, we were awakened by a terrific explosion. The oil stovj hal
blown up, and the house was a
.mass of Humes. Luckily, the three
of us escaped with our lives, but
the house was corrrpletlv destorv-
ed, as was the garaife and our car."
"Our frien.ds took us in temppor-
arily, but wc faced the future without feed, clothing or glasses which
Betty and 1 both needed for work
and to get arounrl. What I'd had
had burned in the house."
"Then The Ked Cross came to
our -side. They arranged and paid
for eye exaniinations and glass-Ms
for Betty and me. They provided
cash allowances for food and credit
allowances for clothing. I was able
to kjep working and soon was p.ee-
ty much back on mv feet again.
"Our insurance enbled us to rebuild our hoiri-but even then The
Red Cross continued to help by
providing e-'sential .furniture and
household equipment that we still
couldn't afrord."
"1 hate to think of what we'd
have lone without the help of The
Reel Cross. That's whv I don't need
reasons why The Red Cross needs
help ... I know!"

For months the nation has been kept in a state of confusion by uncertainty about its coal supplies.
Under the rule of the United^ Mine Workers normal coal
production lias been prevented while contract negotiations
were pending.
The issue has been used as a political football until the
floating of the public welfare has become a national scandal.
At last the Taft-Hartley Act is being invoked to bring
the situation under legal control. It will determine whether
organized revolution in one branch of industry, or the law
of the land will prevail—whether one union leader or the
courts will govern.
Many coal miners .are being misled. By subterfuge or
otherwise they are incited to disobey the law. They are told
"you ca.n't dig coal with the'Taft-Hartley Act."
That is true, but men who disobey the law are subject
to its penalties or the nation faces anarchy.
If the United Mine Workers won't work pending settle-.
ment of their demands, other men should be allowed to wqrk.j^ hhi\^h ^~anU^Mrs"

NAVY MOTHERS GROUP
PLANS ALL DAY SEWING
The Navy Mothers Club of North
Canton is planning an all-day sewing meeting on March 14 at the
Noith Canton Community Buil ling
and all members are urged to attend that this sewing assignment
can be completed..
Y'our Congressman, John
MeSweeney, voted during the
past week on legislation providing for a National Science
Foundation, Alaskan statehood and further study of a
bill legalizing delivered pricing practices.
The House passed by a vote
of 217-125 a bill stating it is
the national policy to promote
fundamental research and education in the sciences__.thro.ugh grants
of scholarships and graduate fellowships anj through the. interchange of scientific information. It
sets up a 24-me.mber National
Science Board which will have up
to Slo million available annually
to promote basic lesearch in all
scientific fields. It will correlate
sci intific programs undertaken by
individuals and by public and private research groups, including
programs of federal agencies. It
wjll grant scientific scholarships
and underwrite research in this
country and in other countries, if
feasible to lo so. Your Congr ;ss-
man voted for this bill. He voted
against a motion to recum.mit the
bill to the House Commerce Committee for furher study; this motion was defeated 240-134. He vv.Ved
for a. motion to substitute the
House bill for the Senate bill,
which was approved by the House
by a vote of 2b'5-102.
Alaskan Statehood: Your Congressman voted for a bill which,
if it passed th .• Senate, will make
Alaska the l!H'n state of the union.
It passed by a vote of 18(i-14C.
Alaska has sought statehood for
a nuarter of a century, but its
s.'iiull population,— about 100,000—
ha-; in the. past-proved-a bar to its
statehood demand. Manv states,
however, did not have that large
a population when they were admitted into the union. Them has
not been ;i now stale admitted ii.l>
the union, in 40 years—not oil! new
.-lar in the Hag.
Basing Point: The House \ ni'-il
210-144 in favor of a motion ..>
f-vnd tho .controversial bill legal:/,
■ing pricing methods of the cement
an 1 other industries back to the
j o i n t" S.mate-House conference
Con .lvttee for further -Caly. Your
Congressman v ;ted against th;s
motion. He also voted against tabling a motion t'j instruct the Hous"
conferees to insist on Hous..'
amendments, but the Hous- instruction- were tabled by a vote
of 210-101.
Mr. MeSweeney, favoring; the
science bill, spoke in favor of the
legislation.' Hi attended college
'.vith Dr. Karl Compton, former
president of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who helped
draft the legislation. Mr. MeSweeney said that he had cor-
respoirU with Dr. Compton at
length on the bill, and did iu^ believe it would stifl'le private industry "in its research efforts."

Wrong Men In High Places
I am unable to understand, how it is possible for men
in high places in this country's oovernment to think so little
of the country's welfare and safety that they are willing to
barter and dicker with enemy nations for vital secrets cf
this government. A lot of this went on, if we are to believe
reports, while young men of this nation were burning their
lives up in the jungles and swamps of the South Pacific, and
on European battle fields in defense of the same liberties that
these traitors at home were seeking to destory. Can it be
that we had the wrong men in the soft jobs here at home?
Is it possible that we should have put the young men in
charge of hoisted places here and sent the traitarous rats to
the front to hear the elements of patriotism? I have yet to
hear a young man in the service attempting o sell out his
country by smuggling out its secerts'. t<> $ny foreign "power

Forced Listening
Your Congressman
In Washington
About this controversy of music in busses or in stations.
Now I'm one of those persons who likes to take my music or
leave it—but I want to be sole judge of which it is. It seems
to me that those who advocate giving- us something to listen
to when we are about cur business, take the stand that we
are children, having to be amused. 1 disagree.
But whether or not our ears should be deafened with
caterwauings—good, bad or indifferent, is I think, relatively
unimportant. There is a bigger question involved—that of
forced listening. To me it smacks of the dictator state. 1
remember Mussolini and Hitler—and I see the ultimate effect
of forced listening in the parrot like utterances of the Communists.
Why all this fuss about a little music? Because if once
the precedent of forced listening is established, then music
may give way to propaganda speeches or slanted news commentaries. Liberty goes by default.
What about the radio? Perfectly simple. When 1 don't
like a speech on the radio, I can turn it off. Even if it is the
President of the United States, J, the individual, have he
right of choice.
Don't I believe in free speech? Of course, I do. In fact,
I believe in it so strongly that J believe both the NAM and the
Communists have the right to buy time to sell their story.
But I want to be able to turn them both oil' whenever I want
to. I don't want to have to listen.
Now it happens that I believe my middle-of-the-road
opinion is the best brand of Americanism. But 1 also believe
that Democracy means that rule of the people—.not of groups
1 don't object in the least to the groups sounding off—but I
want them to be labeled as groups and not proclaim that
they arc the sole exponents of the American way of life.
In short; 1 think propaganda should be labeled as such,
That instead of saying "The American Way of Life is such-
an-such"—a plain statement as though it were a fact, they
should have to say "The way of life I and my group want I'rr
America is such-and-such." And that each group that takes
lo the ail' should have lo begin by staling their group and
specifically what j't stands for. The other evening 1 counted
four speeches all claiming to represent the American way of
life—and all demanding opposing things. I'm tired of false
labels—of Communists calling themselves liberals, of Dixie-
crats calling themselves Democrats, of Fascists calling themselves Republicans. I think every man has a right to his own
opinion—but I think he should have the moral courage to say
what that opinion really is—not cam j ullage it under a lot
of high-faluting cliches.
And 1 want the right not to listen. Maybe it isn't in the
Bill of Rights, but ii is inherent in it. In 1791 Edmund Burke,
the great friend of the American colonics, pointed out that
restraint is also numbered among man's rights. And I will
actively resent any infringement of that right!
The Law Must Prevail
Mis. P. R. Baird of the Senior Woman's Club of North
Canton is head of the Southwest section of the village; Mrs.
Luther Sautters of the North Canton Parent Teachers Association heads the Southeast Section; Mrs. F. D. Stover of the
American Legion Auxiliary is captain of the group in tho Northeast
section and Mr.?. M. E. Saylor of
the ,Navy Mothers Club assisted
by Miss Nanev Witter of the Junior Sorosis are heading the collection group in the Northwest section of the village. Mr. Ward
Mathie of the North Canton Rotary Club is responsible for the
collections for the Red Cross in the
Business District of town.
Following is another in a series
of case histories to demonstrate
how the Re.I Cross serves your
community and its people in times
of disaster.family crisis and other
emergencies.
"My name is Bert Donaldson. My
wife's name is Betty and our son'.s
name is Bert, Jr. Inbuilt the home
we lived in and had paid .for all
of it exc.ipt for $400.00. Nothing
fancy, but it was comfortable, and
it was our home."
"One night., after >,ve'd gone to
bed, we were awakened by a terrific explosion. The oil stovj hal
blown up, and the house was a
.mass of Humes. Luckily, the three
of us escaped with our lives, but
the house was corrrpletlv destorv-
ed, as was the garaife and our car."
"Our frien.ds took us in temppor-
arily, but wc faced the future without feed, clothing or glasses which
Betty and 1 both needed for work
and to get arounrl. What I'd had
had burned in the house."
"Then The Ked Cross came to
our -side. They arranged and paid
for eye exaniinations and glass-Ms
for Betty and me. They provided
cash allowances for food and credit
allowances for clothing. I was able
to kjep working and soon was p.ee-
ty much back on mv feet again.
"Our insurance enbled us to rebuild our hoiri-but even then The
Red Cross continued to help by
providing e-'sential .furniture and
household equipment that we still
couldn't afrord."
"1 hate to think of what we'd
have lone without the help of The
Reel Cross. That's whv I don't need
reasons why The Red Cross needs
help ... I know!"

For months the nation has been kept in a state of confusion by uncertainty about its coal supplies.
Under the rule of the United^ Mine Workers normal coal
production lias been prevented while contract negotiations
were pending.
The issue has been used as a political football until the
floating of the public welfare has become a national scandal.
At last the Taft-Hartley Act is being invoked to bring
the situation under legal control. It will determine whether
organized revolution in one branch of industry, or the law
of the land will prevail—whether one union leader or the
courts will govern.
Many coal miners .are being misled. By subterfuge or
otherwise they are incited to disobey the law. They are told
"you ca.n't dig coal with the'Taft-Hartley Act."
That is true, but men who disobey the law are subject
to its penalties or the nation faces anarchy.
If the United Mine Workers won't work pending settle-.
ment of their demands, other men should be allowed to wqrk.j^ hhi\^h ^~anU^Mrs"

NAVY MOTHERS GROUP
PLANS ALL DAY SEWING
The Navy Mothers Club of North
Canton is planning an all-day sewing meeting on March 14 at the
Noith Canton Community Buil ling
and all members are urged to attend that this sewing assignment
can be completed..
Y'our Congressman, John
MeSweeney, voted during the
past week on legislation providing for a National Science
Foundation, Alaskan statehood and further study of a
bill legalizing delivered pricing practices.
The House passed by a vote
of 217-125 a bill stating it is
the national policy to promote
fundamental research and education in the sciences__.thro.ugh grants
of scholarships and graduate fellowships anj through the. interchange of scientific information. It
sets up a 24-me.mber National
Science Board which will have up
to Slo million available annually
to promote basic lesearch in all
scientific fields. It will correlate
sci intific programs undertaken by
individuals and by public and private research groups, including
programs of federal agencies. It
wjll grant scientific scholarships
and underwrite research in this
country and in other countries, if
feasible to lo so. Your Congr ;ss-
man voted for this bill. He voted
against a motion to recum.mit the
bill to the House Commerce Committee for furher study; this motion was defeated 240-134. He vv.Ved
for a. motion to substitute the
House bill for the Senate bill,
which was approved by the House
by a vote of 2b'5-102.
Alaskan Statehood: Your Congressman voted for a bill which,
if it passed th .• Senate, will make
Alaska the l!H'n state of the union.
It passed by a vote of 18(i-14C.
Alaska has sought statehood for
a nuarter of a century, but its
s.'iiull population,— about 100,000—
ha-; in the. past-proved-a bar to its
statehood demand. Manv states,
however, did not have that large
a population when they were admitted into the union. Them has
not been ;i now stale admitted ii.l>
the union, in 40 years—not oil! new
.-lar in the Hag.
Basing Point: The House \ ni'-il
210-144 in favor of a motion ..>
f-vnd tho .controversial bill legal:/,
■ing pricing methods of the cement
an 1 other industries back to the
j o i n t" S.mate-House conference
Con .lvttee for further -Caly. Your
Congressman v ;ted against th;s
motion. He also voted against tabling a motion t'j instruct the Hous"
conferees to insist on Hous..'
amendments, but the Hous- instruction- were tabled by a vote
of 210-101.
Mr. MeSweeney, favoring; the
science bill, spoke in favor of the
legislation.' Hi attended college
'.vith Dr. Karl Compton, former
president of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who helped
draft the legislation. Mr. MeSweeney said that he had cor-
respoirU with Dr. Compton at
length on the bill, and did iu^ believe it would stifl'le private industry "in its research efforts."

Wrong Men In High Places
I am unable to understand, how it is possible for men
in high places in this country's oovernment to think so little
of the country's welfare and safety that they are willing to
barter and dicker with enemy nations for vital secrets cf
this government. A lot of this went on, if we are to believe
reports, while young men of this nation were burning their
lives up in the jungles and swamps of the South Pacific, and
on European battle fields in defense of the same liberties that
these traitors at home were seeking to destory. Can it be
that we had the wrong men in the soft jobs here at home?
Is it possible that we should have put the young men in
charge of hoisted places here and sent the traitarous rats to
the front to hear the elements of patriotism? I have yet to
hear a young man in the service attempting o sell out his
country by smuggling out its secerts'. t<> $ny foreign "power
i'cr a price.
